Additionally, Derek Stevens, CEO and Founder of the D Las Vegas and DLVEC, greeted the DLVEC guests and invited them to an official after-party at the D.

Anticipated act Barenaked Ladies opened their set with a medley of chart-topping songs from classic rappers who will be performing at The Art of Rap tour at DLVEC tonight.
